Special to the Gazette.
DENTON, TEX, May "a serious
difficulty occurred here to-day between J.
D Kittrell and John Finegan, two promi-
nent and well known citizens of this
place, in which Finegan was, it is
thought, fatally cut by Kittren. The
Difficulty came up about q debt of 81,
which they together incurred IN having an
agreement drawn up between them
while making trade some weeks ago.
II seems that Fiuegan had a hammer,
with which he was making the contest not
for his antagonist, VINO was his superior
in size, but dropped it, and while picking
it up again KittrelI drew his knife, and,
as he made another pass at him
with the hammer, cut him with
the knife in four places, once in the face
from the eye down to the mouth, another
in the arm, another in the left breast and
fourth across the upper part of the
bowels, from the lower part of the ribs
on the left side about ten inches, ranging
downward to the other side of his BODY
completely disemboweling him, leaving
his vitals exposed. The physicians say
there is not more than one chance in 100
for him to recover. Finegan has wiIe
and several children who are heart
stricken over the sad affair He is from
st Louis, Mo. He was arrested here
several years ago and taken to Kansas
and kept in prison several months GU a
case of mistaken identity, and proved
himself innocent beyond doubt. Kittrell
is now in jail, He also has family who
nave the sympathy of the community.
Both parties are Well-to do citizens.
Finnegan was taken in charge by the

The chrysanthcmum is the japanese
s.ttional flower, and is so esteemed that
the Mix ado has created an Order Of the
Chrysanthcmum, which he bestows upon
men Of distinction at home and abroad.
Recently there was an exhibition Of
chrysanthemums at the Mikado's palace.
a correspondent Of French paper gives
an account of the occasion, which the
Youths Companion translates:
''At the door of the imperial gardens,
q servant, resplendcnt in gilt robes. in
spected ones card of admission carefully
and pointed out the direction Of the
pavilion where the flowers were on exhi-
bition- The imperial garden has many
winding paths, with little streams over
hung by shady bambocs, and lakes
where, in the spring, magnificent lotus
flowers are in bloom; but nothing is in
order here. Beyond were the large
tents under which tho flowers were
shown; and here we found all the fur
nishings to be European, with easy
chairs, canopies and carpets. A military
band played airs that were familiar to
u.s. The Japanese officers wore their
most brilliant uniforms, of European
style, for the Emperor and Empress were
expected. The civil func:ionaries were
dressed, too, in European black coats, and
carried tall hats.
The Japanese ladies were almost all
dressed in European costume. A few,
indeed, had preserved the picturesque
national costume, and this seemed to me
toprove their patriotism to be of a strong
type; for when the Empress arrived.
which she did presently, she was dressed
in a magnificent crimson dress of the
latest Parisian style. She is a woman of
elegant appearance aud great distinction
of manner.
"The Emperor was in the uniform OF
the Guard, which is neither very hand
some nor very military. His face was
impressive. He responded with but the
slightest movement of the head to the
profound bows that were made to him.
1.-The chrysanthemums, by their size
and the variety of their colors, proved
to be real wonders, and well worthy of
the preference which the Japanese give
them over all other flowers. Under one
tent and as if they were excluded from
tho competition because nothing could
compete with them, there were three
specimens bearing respectively one hun
dred and fifty-fivc, one hundred and sew
enty-three, and three hundred and thirty
three separate stems in full bloom.
The romance OF this strange exhibit
ton was to us strangely married by the
presence everywhere of the tall silk hats
which the Japanese have borrowed from
us, and which become them very badly"
